I have always said I don't care for sweet potatoes, but others in our family do like them. I chose this recipe for our Thanksgiving meal, and it was a hit. My husband and youngest son stated it was the best they'd ever had, and I thought it was good too, This will definitely be on the menu in the future, Thank you for a great recipe!
